Safe to take "Security policy updates" if rooted? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Got a message this morning that there was a security policy update to download. I'm thinking this is to resolve the keyboard issue - does anyone know for sure? Am I able to take the update at all if I'm rooted (but stock)? Will it break anything? Sprint version, so I don't think it's the 5.1.1 update.

i just ignore/cancel

5.1.1 is a major update which will come via an OTA.
Pretty sure the security updates have to do with updating certificates etcs on the phone though they have always been a bit vague on their purpose. If you decline them, they will just ask again. Never had a "security" issue accepting them rooted or otherwise.

I did it, now my root doesn't work. FML.

That sucks (and was exactly what I was afraid of) - did you try running ping pong again?

Sure you didn't upgrade to 5.1.1?
I did it a couple days ago and I didn't lose root.

Right - to clarify, I'm not talking about the major ota that updates you to 5.1.1. I'm referring to the notification that refers to "Security policy updates". It's my understanding that this has to do with the keyboard security issue, as opposed to updating the os, but I'm not sure.

No it's not 5.1.1, I'm on the 920i, so 5.1.1 isn't even out.

Yeah I've tried the newest 6.0b version, it claims it gets root, but doesn't. Running root checker says I have root, but shortly after says I don't. Opening apps that require root, I can grant them root permission, but then it doesn't actually obtain it.
---------- Post added at 03:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------
When I get home I think I'm going to try and wipe and reroot. I really need root for xmod -_-

I took the security update earlier. Still have root. No issues.

[Q] What happens after you root and there is a OTA update?

All,
I'm on the fense with rooting and removing Carrier IQ and installing Greenify. What happens when there is a OTA update on our phones? Can I still install it? Obviously I know any updates, there is a chance it will kill the root but I'm more worried about being able to update the phone.
On a side note, what's up with the development of ROM's for this phone? This is the first phone I ever had where I have not seen much ROM's for it.
Thanks all!

The development of the the phone is so slow right not because the bootloader is unlocked. There is a bounty for the unlocked bootloader to be achieved but it has not been solved yet. If there is an OTA update for the phone, someone correct me if im wrong but I think you would have to go back stock and then re-root the device. I could be wrong though. Yeah I understand that you want to keep the phone up to date but I know updates will come very slow if its anything like the G2. I prefer root, debloated, carrier delete, and Greenufy any day over rare OTA's.

Thanks for the reply!! I will follow your steps and root and apply those changes. Just weird that this is the first phone I have yet to root, thinking of keeping it stock, but the rooting itch is coming back.

Trust and believe me I have the same itch! lol. Every android device that I have ever owned has been rooted within the first week of owning it. I honestly try to not root and leave it as is but then again I cant't help it and have been using a good amount of tweaks that I cant go without for the most part. But with the changes with root that I said above and running Nova Launcher, I have no complaints right now.
Here's what i'm wondering. Will i need to reinstall the stock rom before i update? I debloated with titanium so my rom no longer has a bunch of files from the factory rom.
I hope LG is fast than last time with the updates though. Their history with updates made me very weary of this device.

Agreed, my guess is that we will see a bootloader unlock well in advance of an OTA from LG. There is not a tremendous amount of change that 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 could really deliver that the LG overlay does not do already (stock) in many ways. There are obviously features that 4.4.4 has we do not with LG's 4.4.2 overlay; but not a ton from a casual day-to-day view.

No, i didn't. that would have been smart though. I'm not used to using a rooted rom without custom roms haha.
To take an OTA after rooting all you need to do is unroot through SuperSU and take the update. If you don't see the update after unrooting, do a factory restore. Its simple. You don't have to flash a stock firmware to update.

Pretty sure it's just a typo, but the bootloader is locked, not unlocked.

I am excited about Android L as well and cant wait for it lol.
As to the Op's question, I am a bit more cautious about taking ota updates some. If I choose to update I usually unroot, and undo any changes I've made to the system such as xposed modules and xposed framework, and revert any build prop changes, then take the OTA.

So if i have a modified stock rom right now i should be able to simply unroot and then take the update even though i am missing files from the original factory rom? I don't think i've ever taken an OTA in my life since i always flash through recovery.

OTA for Verizon?

When I go to manually update my phone, I'm getting an OTA update.
Anyone know what the update is? I'm rooted so I can't install it and clicking the learn more link takes me to a dead website.
im downloading now, not rooted.
Edit: Just states enhancements and improvements. android version : still 5.0.2 / build number : LRX22G. G920VVRU1A0E2
Tried to update and it failed on me. Can't get it to go again.
Edit: Tried the update again and it worked.
I just updated mine successfully and all it showed was.. "Software updated to G925VVRU1AOE2" The link to "Learn More Online" was to a 404 page
Apparently this is what the updated is, but I can't update cuz I'm rooted
http://www.droid-life.com/2015/06/0...rst-update-with-hd-voice-photo-editor-tweaks/
The ram management seems to be a bit better now, will have to see if the battery life especially on wifi has improved.
I don't think it's worth going through unrooting process. The updates are minor.
Just wait till one of the ROM's are updated and flash that.
Has anyone taken the update and still was able to root?

Nothing I see is worth the update. I've turned off HD Voice...that seems to be one of the major battery drains. Ill wait till others download and see if there is an improvement
The release notes seem to have a different FW version AOD5 rather than AOE2 which is the actual OTA.
It should still be rootable if it matches other AOE2 ROMs from other carriers but only time will tell.
There is a download on Samsung-Updates of the Full TAR.
my 2 cents
The root app has to be updated with this update if you flash this you will not be able to root until pingpong updates it just a warning I took the plunge.

LG G4 Marshmellow Update

Hey everyone,
So I found online that the AT&T update to Marshmellow started on 2-8-16. I haven't been able to find anything officially from AT&T but apperently the version is H81020n and its 971 MB. Has anyone gotten the update yet?
Just saw this thread and figured I'd check. Went into the update center and notification popped up for new 950mb update. Must be it cause I was already on 10o. Didn't even have to use LG Bridge like the other carrier guys were doing.
Will post back with an update once completed

I fell asleep during the update process but just finished running the Debloater tool and getting rid of all the att/lg junk! So far so good. Will be keeping an eye on battery life over the next couple days.

Debloater does not need root as long as you are running KitKat or newer :good:. Without root it just freezes/disables the apps instead of completely removing them.

not possible. you can't modify the system files and boot without a modified kernel. We don't have an unlocked bootloader, so no kernels, thus no root.
if you root MM your phone will just loop without the custom kernel.

so the file it downloaded isn't a zip... it's just 'dlpkgfile'

That's the missing piece I needed to understand. Thanks! Sucks, but thanks! :highfive:
got it! looks good to me - so far...
I upgraded early yesterday morning and my phone has been hot almost all the time!! The battery life is way worse than prior to the upgrade. I have cleaned out all my junk files and cache rebooted and recharged a few times. Also optimized my apps a few times. I just picked up my phone after 2 hours of no use and it was warm and the battery is draining at a faster rate than with Lollipop... Anybody else experiencing this?
Awesome, glad the update is out....I haven't done the update just yet...waiting to see if we hear anything about root. I'm wondering if we are still able to downgrade via TOT method if need be...if that's the case then i'll update ASAP. I actually have heard that there are some battery issues with the update, but again I'm not on 6.0 yet so I can't tell you from my experience.

Yea, TWRP works. But I've been just sideloading ota's instead of unlocking and rooting for the last few years. It has also been super fast and easy with the essential.
Drivers:

Google and install "Minimal ADB and Fastboot."
Download and put the ota zip file in the fastboot folder (I always rename it to the build number, too)

I'm on sprint and rooted to "F".
someone please confirm: to go to "B", first I need to uninstall majisk, the flash the stock recovery, then sideload the OTA, then flash the new TWRP then reinstall magisk?
How do I find the non Sprint/Telus OTA file to side load?
Worked fine for me. Phone is running great now with no hiccups. The past week I started getting freezes that required a reboot.. but all is well now.
Snappy and fast again.
my mic seems to stopped working since this update :/

Had Problem with magisk but had franco kernel installed. You have to deactivate the modules for that kernel then magisk works again. Hole that helps

Anyone else? Any fix?

Use This guide: Do #4 'keep data' then #9 to root. It only takes 5 minutes.
Note: Before you start disable all your Magisk modules.

They unlocked High. Brightness. That was one of the features in this quarters drop.

Just fastboot the factory image without the -w. It might just be personal preference but I think that's the easiest way to update if you are rooted.

I'm aware of how to update but I used to be able to take the ota and re root with Magisk.. but now I don't even get the ota.

I have automatic system updates disabled in developer options. It's probably unlikely since you were getting updates but could you have disabled by accident? Not sure what else would suddenly cause you to stop getting them. I doubt it's something that simple but I've beat my head against the wall for something similar in the past....lol

I'm right there with you. Very annoyed that it won't do it through normal OTA. I waited it out through February and never got it.

Disabling that toggle in developer options is a prerequisite for doing the OTA update option and retaining magisk.

Have you tried doing the Magisk uninstall then tried taking the ota?

No, that'll be what I do this month if it doesn't pop up like it should.

I wanna try it but don't have time to fix right now if it goes wrong
I agree with a lot of others here: It's easier to dirty flash, no hassles and it works every time without having to figure out any secret handshakes.
